Why not just turn the thermostat up?

Subject: Disable Compressor in Westy A/C ??

Sometimes I don't want to run the A/C in the Westy, but the air from the
fans feels good.  On long pulls in desert heat, I hate to use the A/C at
all, fearing overheating.  I've considered configuring a switch to keep the
compressor from pulling in, yet allowing the A/C fans to move air around.

Is there a downside to disabling the clutch mechanism on the compressor and
let the fans circulate air through the system without the refrigeration
action?

Thanks
